Ok.  It’s been a couple of months now, and I still can't seem to find a reason why

Twitter is interesting.  I signed up to twitter when I started the new website, and followed a couple of people I was interested in.  Turns out their lives are just as boring as mine.  Who knew Rob Thomas goes to the gym, so do I.  Now I know when he goes, and I also know when he eats soup.  Good to know!  Maybe if I mold myself after Rob Thomas tweets, and do the things that he does, perhaps I will be able to write great songs.  (fingers crossed)

Maybe it is a conspiracy.  Perhaps the government is involved.  Someone has to be paying for the service, because twitter has no advertisers, and doesn't charge a fee to use the service.  Anyway, now that our lives are chronicled minute by minute, they could be keeping tabs on us and might be determining who are the most interesting people.  Then the government officials could be planning to have them preserved in a glass column filled with liquid, like in those alien movies.  Its for the good of the society.   In 100 years, people may want to meet the Jonas Brothers in person, just crack the seal, and let them out.   Just in case, I will make my tweets basic and bland.  You never know.

Aren't famous people too busy to tweet?  Maybe all the tweets of famous people we follow are just some made up persona that the person makes up to make them seem larger than life.  I know there are some music artists that have a "person" who takes care of their internet postings and tweets.  (Don't worry, this is really me writing this!)  A little embellishment here, and some spicing up there, and you have yourself a very interesting tweet.  Of course, if you believe everything on the internet, there is a prince in Kenya that could use your help wiring some money.

I can honestly say that my life hasn’t gotten much better since I started using twitter.  At first I thought, “Cool, I can let people know what I am doing”.  As it turns out, even though I can use my cell phone to twitter, not much is happening over here.  Of course, I have seen plenty of tweets from other people such as “I can’t wait to do the dishes”, or “Driving to work” (In that case, put the phone down or you’ll kill somebody!), I’ll save you the boredom of my life, and keep all of this mediocrity to myself.
